Devils place Gionta, Wiseman, Zalewski on waivers

The move paves the way for all three players to be assigned to the Albany Devils, should each clear waivers by noon Tuesday.
Gionta, who served as captain of the A-Devils in 2010-11, registered 10 goals and 20 assists over 54 games with Albany last season. He also appeared in 12 games with New Jersey, going pointless during his first taste of NHL action.

Wiseman recorded 16 goals and 28 assists in 48 games with Albany last season, while Zalewski put up 11 goals and 12 assists over 21 games for the Devils after arriving via a mid-season trade from Worcester.

All three Devils cleared waivers today, as did the other players mentioned in the post. No new Devils on waivers today, but former Rats Tim Conboy (Ottawa) and Mark Flood (Winnipeg) have been waived by their NHL clubs.

Tom Gulitti is now reporting that Gionta, Wiseman, and Zalewski, along with goalie Keith Kinkaid (who did not have to clear waivers) will be in Albany’s lineup for tonight’s exhibition game. All four players are expected to return to training camp in New Jersey tomorrow.

Update: Conboy and Flood cleared waivers today and are expected to be assigned to their clubs’ AHL squads. Former Albany Devils goalie Mike McKenna (Ottawa) was placed on waivers today and will likely be assigned to Binghamton once he clears.
